1918 Map of Loleta

About this map

The Clarion River carves a winding path through this 1918 tactical map, serving as a natural boundary for Barnett, Heath, and Millstone townships. The landscape is defined by the intersection of forest industry and early rail transport, centered on Marienville and the Baltimore & Ohio line. While many small settlements like Loleta, Clarington, and Cooksburg anchor the riverfront and creek valleys, the interior is crisscrossed by numerous named runs and creeks, such as Tionesta East Millstone and Bear Run. This survey highlights the complex county lines where Forest Co., Elk Co., Clarion Co., and Jefferson Co. meet. It captures the region before modern development, showing isolated stations like Vowinckel Sta. and the detailed network of timber-era drainage systems like Black Swamp Run.
